Pirates and Cubs both have two extra games to play. The standings aren't yet quite as tight as they seem.

If they have two extra games to play, my read would be that it may be tighter than it seems.  If Pirates and Cubs win both their extra games, they're a game closer to the Cards.

They're two and four back in the loss column respectively, Curt. So they both have to win their extra games to maintain that distance. In reality, they are a minimum of 2-4 back, a maximum of 4-6 depending on the extra games to be played.

You can always add wins, you can't subtract losses.

That's why it's called the "all important" loss column.

Well, the possibility to add wins always exists, but the Cubs have in any number of seasons that you really can't always add them.

It was Ortiz's second homer of the day, which also made it his 50th multi-homer game in his career.

The Jays' offense is frightening. Gonna take something special to shut them down in the playoffs.

Adam Morgan, who Cubs beat yesterday, has beaten Jays twice this season---with quality starts both times.

Don't always have to be special. Funny game, sometimes.

True, but going to be hard to do four times in seven games.
